DINNERS AND RECEPTIONS. Echoes of the Hecent Bail at the Chinese Le- gation—Miuister Patenotre to Keep House— ‘The Events of the Coming Week—The First State Dinner. After the storm comes thecalm. As predicted in these colums last week, social occasions pretty well wore everybody out during the last five days. It wasa little too much of a good thing. Tho balls night after night were in many respects britliant occasions, and some of the belles have enough german favors to line their rooms all around — Such crowded balls, too, inthe face of the worst weather we can pousibly get this winter, is another evidence of what Washington people can do when they half try. Our balls and receptions Lave been tempt- ing enough to attract some of the most promi- nent peopie of Baltimore and New York, who assuredly get enough of the sume kind of thing at home. Butfor the coming weck there will be ample opportunity for rest and retro- spection, ‘The list of entertainments is by no means as crowded. Here are a few of the lead- ing ones: MONDAY. Mrs, McPherson will give luncheon in honor of her nicce, Miss Auna McPherson, Mis. Herman Knickerbocker Viele will give @ tea, 4 to 7, at 1722 Connecticut avenue. ‘TUESDAY. Mra. William Lay will give # luncheon in honor of Miss Nelly Petersen of Philadelphia, who will then be her guest. Mre. Robert Fitch Shepard will give a tea, 4to7. In the evening President and Mrs, Harrizon will give their first state dinner of the season, which is in honor of the cabifot. WEDNESDAY. The Austrian minister will give # dinner. Mr and Mra C. C. Glover will give a dinner. ‘The second Bachelors’ cotillion will take place at the Itifles’ Hall. ‘rmunspar. ‘Mra. Arms will give a luncheon in honor of Mra Noble, Miss Soule will give a five o'clock tea. Mrs. Carroll Mercer, a dinner to Gen. and Mrs. Schofield Ex-Gov. and Mrs. Carroll will give dinner. FRUWaAt. Mrs. Hammond will give » tea,4 to 7, at Belcomb, Columbia Heights. There will be dancing. Secretary Tracy will give a dinner in honor of the Prosident and Mrs. Harrison. SATURDAY. Mrs. Harrison will hold her second public reception from 8 to 5. A Chinese ball without incidents would not seem natural The man who waa taking tho invitations at the door of the legation that night was approached by a gentlemanly ind vidual, whe offered him 6 in licu of the neces- sary card. ‘Ihe offer was promptly rejected. Some uncomphimentary things are also being told around over the hunger displayed by many of the guests toward the latter part of the sup- per. ‘there was a scramble for food, which must have given the Chinese an impression that perhaps some of their guests had not been tow ball since the last one at Stewart Castle. By the way, it is said that the owner of the le- gation, Senator Stewart, did not receive any invitation to the bail because of his stand on the anti-Chinese question. Minister and Mra, Tui did not receive after their supper. | Muny of the guests were sofuch- ionable that they did not put in an appearance until. half-past eleven ‘Ihe receiving party had then gone home. Mrs. Tsui went upstairs after supper and did not come down again. In response to some queries on the subject it may be said that it is the usual cus- tom when a Chinese minister at a foreign capi- tal has a wife with him for her to appewr at all the ceremonious occasions at his legation, Marquis Sing was the first to do so and pre- sented his wife ata ball in London and aiter- ward in Parix. In London at present, how- ever, the wife of the councillor of the legutiou, Lady Clancarty, does the honors for the Chi- nese minister. ‘The women of his household do not appear. At the ball the other night the heads of some families brought in many ladies on the strength | of one poor littie bit of pasteboard, #o that the old joke of the wayback Congressman and his boarding house friends was continually re- peated. The subterfuges resorted to for in-| Vitation would make a fine tale to unfold at the expense of people who have high social as- pirations. Everybody who was supposed to have the faintest acquaintance with the minister or his secretaries was besieged. The politeness of the host and those acting for him was unfail- ing, however, and so far as known there were no refurals to any of these requests, especially wheu they came from members of Congress and other officials, Mr. Patenotre, the French minister, has now become generally known in society by his frequent appearances during the past fortnight, He has gone to housekeeping at 1400 Massa- chusetts avenue and when he fiuds himself comfortably settled there he will be only too glzd to reciprocate all the courtesies which have been so far showered upon him. Ina diplomatic way his name is widely kuown and awa linguist and as a social favorite equally s0. In appearance he looks legs like a French- man thin any member of his legation He speaks English as well as any Lriton and | Spanish quite as finently. ‘ihe large pre- ponderance of Spanisis «peaking diplomats now in the corps here makes this Jatter acquisition a valuable one. During his diplomatic service an various partsof Europe he has collected quantities of beautiful objects that will be used here to adorn his legation. air. and Mrs. Edmonda gave a dinner party on Thursday evening, when their guests were the Mexican minister and Madame Romero, Senator and Sirs. Vance, Mr.and Mrs. Ffoulke Madaine Mendonca and Hon. John W.and Mre. Foster. Mrs. Otis Bigelow gave a luncheon on Fridaz. Her guests included Mra. Noble, Madame Ko- mero, Mra, Justice Brown, Mra.

From the Leeds Mercury. In no country has dueling enjoyed so healthy avitalityas in Ireland. For a considerable Period of its history the Green Isle was the happy hunting ground of “satisfaction.” The men and women of the last century and the earlier part of the present flung themselves into the exciting pastime with a gencrous en- .thusiasm. It was part of the curriculum of education, and no young gentleman's educa- tion was considered complete until he bad fought ina duel. Indeed, at one time a club existed in Galway to which no person was ad- mitted who bad not shot his mau. In those days every respectable family had among their heirloonis the hereditary pistols — the preservators and vindieators of ihe family honor. These were tenderly regarded and kept scrupulously clean and oiled, for uo man kuew the moment when they would be re- quired. The handles were mysteriously notched, and on each notch hung a tale—per- haps ® catastrophe. At Castlebar Mr. 8. C. Hall was shown a pistol marked with seven notches, each notch indicating that it had sent @ bullet into an adversary. The father of Toler, Lord Norbury, on his death bed und almost with his dying lips took a pair of pistols from under his pillow and mur- mured ag he presented them to his son, * Jack, be always ready to keep up the credit of the family and the honor of an’ Irish gentle- man,” which dying advice Jack seems tu have remembered, for as Lord Norbury in aiter days he fought Fighting Fitzgerald and two others, Hot-headed, sensitive and rash, Irieh gen- tlemen fought on every provocation. “I was prevent at a duel,” writes Mr. S.C. Hall in his “Hietrospect of a Long Life,” “a fatal ducl, whieh was fought near Rossearberry. ‘Iwo first cousing had quarreled over somicthing—the uerest tritle—and a meeting was the result. A jew minutes betore they tired I heard one of the principals say to his seconde: declare 1 have not even anger againstmy cousin.” He bad merely said what be thought, that the other principal had behaved like & goose, adding ‘I know that Iam less thou a goose for going out with him.’ The first shot laid him on the sward, mortaily wounded. “At this long distance of time I can see the gradual film, the glazed look of death eome Over hia eyes, and ‘henr the sob with which he sielded up a life full of hope and promise.

We ‘get a remarkable illustration of what lite in Ireland was in 1510, when Mersrs. Colclough and Sheriday opposed Mr. Aleock for the rep- resentation of the county of Wexford. Several tenants of a person supporting Alcock declared that they should vote tor the two other candi- dates. ‘This was resented and Mr. Colclough was called upon to refuse their Votes. He « fared that he had in no tanner canvusse them and that he would not direct them how they should vote. He was answered: “iieceive their votes at your peril!’ ‘elore the opening of the next day's poll the rival candidates were on the field to determine the tenants’ right by the pistol Many hun- dreds were present. Among them were several magistrates. The ground was marked, the crowd separated on either mde, as their party feelings dictated; the word was given, and Mr. Colciough fell, shot through the heart. Within two Lours alterward his opponent was returned duly elected. “At the next assizes he was tried for murder before Daron Smith, who opeuly declared against a capital conviction, and the jury, with- outa moment's hesitation, pronounced a ver- dict of “Not guilty.’ “he ‘parties to the duel hud been intunate triends, and Alcock, though acquitted, never recovered Ins self-composure; his intellect faded, and his sister, doubly wounded, went mad and died.” A singular duel arising out of an election squabble bas been recorded by Sir J. Barring- ton, im which the seconds as well as the priu- cipais fought, ‘They st ht angles, ten paces distant, and all began firing together on avignal from an umpire. At the first the two principels were touched; at the next both sec onds and one principal staggered out of their pisces. They were well “hit,” but no lives ost Btill thore was much truth in the story which has been told of Dick Martin of Galway, who, being in conversation with the prince regent, was addressed by the prince with. “So you ure going to Bare © a in you county?” “Yea, your royal highness, as usual.” ‘And who will win?” “The survivor, please your royal highness,” answered with libernian cooiness. ———————— Mrs. Siddals’ Terrible Leap.
